Cancer is a worldwide problem and is a disease of all times. Cancer can develop at any age, to illustrate in children, adolescents, (young) adults and in the elderly. Due to this variety of ages and the different kind of tumors, it is important to ask which care patients with cancer need. This two week course will provide a comprehensive overview about cancer care through the circle of life. Topics discussed in this course represent: what is cancer and how is it treated, how is care for patients with cancer organized and how do we come to personalized cancer care?
